Well: patched, installed new serial_core.ko, then depmod -a, and try to access ttySwhatever.
I don't see any difference... If I understood correctly, it could not load my 'fake' serial module anyway (?)
BTW. only changes,I think could affect serial directly and made betwen test9 and test10 are:
diff -Nru a/drivers/serial/serial_core.c b/drivers/serial/serial_core.c --- a/drivers/serial/serial_core.c Sun Nov 23 17:33:38 2003 +++ b/drivers/serial/serial_core.c Sun Nov 23 17:33:38 2003 @@ -1707,6 +1707,9 @@ strcat(stat_buf, "\n"); ret += sprintf(buf + ret, stat_buf); + } else { + strcat(buf, "\n"); + ret++; } #undef STATBIT #undef INFOBIT diff -Nru a/include/linux/serial.h b/include/linux/serial.h --- a/include/linux/serial.h Sun Nov 23 17:33:38 2003 +++ b/include/linux/serial.h Sun Nov 23 17:33:38 2003 @@ -49,7 +49,6 @@ unsigned short iomem_reg_shift; unsigned int port_high; unsigned long iomap_base; /* cookie passed into ioremap */ - int reserved[1]; }; /* I could try to narrow it down to some -bk, but it will take time...
PS. I wonder - could it be, that somewhere in the middle of decision process test9 > test10 (as test1something) bye
